  2. forgot about this!! We have a lot of problems with our junior guys getting into this situation. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  3. Just as said above. the recruiters have to meet a quota or else! Don't trust them. 1. See if there's an enlistment bonus for your chosen rate and ask for the max. The highest I have heard for my rate was 10,000 but you have to enlist for 6 years(get a "C" school). 2. make sure you have a Rate. (you will go to "A" school for basic Rate knowledge) or you are deck seaman fodder and you may need to extend your contract to get a rate in the future. 3. You are not in the navy till you sign papers AT THE RTC (boot camp). so if you decide "no" after the lenghty MEPS check ups, you can tell them to eat a dick. 4. make sure your finances are in order before boot camp. 5. you never smoked a joint in your life; and no, they can't prove it!! 6. If you have a degree or if you are in college, screw the recruiter and look for NROTC at your campus. Recruiters do not recruit for officers and you have to spend the first couple(or all of you enlistment) becoming one. 7. alot of people on here are in the Navy. Ask a lot of questions! When you are in the navy: -Positive attitude always get you everywhere. -as with everywhere, the first person who immediately wants to be your friend at a new command is to be avoided. you, the new person, don't know what an ass hat he is and he knows it. good luck and dont sweat the bullshit. There's lot's of it. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  4. Ford Aspires are quite the challenge. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  5. I take it i missed the joke. Still learning the ropes here. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  6. I think the questions are biased. . .and I think the FAQ's are biased. The FAQ's only respond to the questions themselves and why those questions. No one ever asks the obvious: can a leftist and a right pick all maybes; and can a centrist pick all yes? I believe they can. There is a lot more issues out there than just those ten. Like most FAQ's on a site, they are designed to answer the questions they want you to ask, or that they can address in a debunking manner. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  7. Yes!!! but you have to set some rules at the very beginning. that is unless you guys were together before you started skydiving. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  8. clear oscilliscope . I think I know how this works. it's not about the numbers or even the tool or the color you automatically pick. I think the joke is on you in which this is a "flattery" trick. A kind of inside joke for the writer. Maybe it's all about you really wanting to be that 2% and you think you are special because you didn't pick the red hammer. Therefore you are the 2%. everyone wants to be special or think they're weird. Or try this out at the office and if most people pick red hammer, then we skydivers are really unique. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  9. Geez. . . I remember when colonics were popular. I guess some people will develop any scheme to make a buck. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  10. My dad's country home is the "log cabin" style where the logs are pre-made. From what i gather, there is some upkeep maintenance that periodically needs to be done to prevent the logs from cracking. Should it start, there is some wood colored plaster-like substance you have to put in to the cracks to prevent it splitting some more. I think that is the only issue. This link points the the type he has; though not neccessairly the same company, the same materials, construction ect. .http://www.logcabinhomes.com/tour_b.html _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  11. You SET me up (everybody point at me and laugh) It aint anything to take seriously, its just a bunch of crackpots who want new energy, no nukes among other stuff behind a crackpot UFO conspiracy platform. The bit was nothing but pure testimonials from some no-name winners who probably joined the group to feel accepted. I should have googled the group first. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  12. Ill look into it, but I have a problem of the fact that the aliens want us to have world peace and no nukes in space like the 60's Hippies. Sounds like a lot of retro-desire for a utopic world. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  13. More than likely a classification to cover some asses. Sometimes though, with classifications, it's not the nature of the letter but what is in it that could point to something classified somewhere else. Say, a job position that is not general knowledge that is pointed out anong with the person's name. Also, the letter could have been classified due to it being part of a batch of letters where one letter has classified info on. But the more i think of it, this looks so much like a cover up _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  14. well, if he rolls it he has to set it afire.
  15. Deaf, Blind, couldn't talk. . .I think. How do we know what she really thought? Maybe all this time she thought she was painting _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  16. I just can't wait till the Screaming Backstreet Boys(Linkin Park) go out of style so I don't get distracted changing the station while driving. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  17. uh oh. I hope that Max Heart rate means just you're "not getting extra benefits in exercise" and not "possible coronary damage" _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  18. What is the maximum heart rate? I don't understand the heart rate measuring thing. Everybody says different things. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  19. There is none. I tend to notice that skydivers tend to spend their weekends exclusively for jumping. that's about it.
  20. I work out during lunch. I run six miles from my base to the Star of India in downtown san diego mondays wednesdays and fridays, and tuesdays thursdays I use weights. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  21. dammit, screwed the pooch again. I was referring to culture all along. Have to check my P's and Q's better. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  22. I like what you got to say here. Here's a problem with the superficial differences. The surface really has but the color of the skin and general dress pointed out. There's still internal differences that comes from differences. Priorities and ways of thinking come from ethnicity also, and is sometimes so ingrained that it can never leave. You can ignore color and physical differences all you want but comfort in similarity is very strong and takes precedence. Kids of two races not only have two colors to choose from, but also two cultural philophies to choose from as well. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
